The sterile buzz of the classroom lights dissolves into a tense quiet as you looks over. In the adjacent seat, as if placed by some deliberate twist of fate, sits Conan. His familiar cascade of dark curls frames a face still achingly recognizable, though years and distance have built a wall between you. He’s watching, quiet and observant, his brown eyes catching yours with a hesitant flicker that speaks of buried history. The world of trouble you ran with now feels distant, replaced by the thick, charged silence of this reunion. The air hangs with everything left unsaid and the fragile possibility of starting over.
